Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (473 ml) cherry coke (regular or diet)
- 1 cup (237 ml) crushed ice
- ½ cup (118 ml) frozen cherries
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) grenadine syrup
- Fresh cherries
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather chilled Cherry Coke, crushed ice, frozen cherries, grenadine syrup, fresh cherries, and lime wedges for a vibrant, frosty beverage.
- Blend Base: Pour Cherry Coke into a high-powered blender, adding crushed ice and frozen cherries to create a crystalline, fruity foundation.
- Enhance Flavor: Drizzle grenadine syrup to intensify cherry notes and create a captivating crimson swirl throughout the mixture.
- Process Texture: Pulse blender in controlled bursts, gradually increasing speed to transform ingredients into a velvety, uniform slush without over-processing.
- Adjust Consistency: Fine-tune the mixture by incorporating additional ice or Cherry Coke to achieve the perfect slushy density and smoothness.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the icy concoction into chilled glasses, adorning with a fresh cherry and lime wedge to elevate both visual appeal and flavor profile.
Notes
- Chill Ingredients Thoroughly: Keep Cherry Coke and cherries ultra-cold before blending to guarantee the most perfect slushy consistency and prevent premature melting.
- Control Blending Technique: Pulse blender in short, controlled bursts to prevent over-processing, which can transform the texture from crystal-like slush to watery liquid.
- Adjust Consistency Strategically: Monitor thickness by adding more crushed ice for a denser texture or extra Cherry Coke to thin out the mixture if too compact and icy.
- Customize for Dietary Needs: Swap regular Cherry Coke with zero-sugar or diet versions for a lower-calorie alternative, or use non-alcoholic grenadine for a kid-friendly mocktail experience.
